Meet the German Shepherd

Remember celebrity canine cop Rin Tin Tin, the German shepherd that fought crime in movies and on TV for decades? Dogs of this breed are well suited for police work off screen as well, thanks to their intelligence, fierce loyalty, and keen sense of smell. Search-and-rescue dog and guide dog for the blind and disabled are other positions you may see on a shepherd’s resume. They aren’t all work and no play, though. When trained and socialized early on in life, they make great pets and get along well with the whole family, including other animals.

Things I learned from my dog
never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in my face to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home, I will always run to greet them.
Be loyal.
Never pretends to be something I am not.
When someone is having a bad day, I will be silent, sit close by, and comfort them gently.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
Wag more, bark less.
On hot days, take lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk .

I used to thing, with pride overflowing, that my brown dog was mine. Now I know better. We never really own a dog as much as he owns us.

Where he led I would follow without fear, and even now, remembering how he would curl up with his back against my bedroom door, I know again how it was to feel safe and protected from anything and anyone.

Once when I was very small and sick my mother put him in bed  with me against everyone’s advice. “They need each other,” she said, and that was that.

She understood brown dogs and their peculiar magic.

“The Well Behaved Pet Guardian” a Fun Book on Dog Training
Louisville, CO., January 4, 2010 — Devoted dog owners know the joy and excitement of having a dog as their best friend and family member.

Have you ever tried training your dog and thrown up your hands wondering, “why won’t you listen?” Don’t dispare, it happens to all of us. We see it happen when we are walking our dogs around town or when they are running free at the local dog park.
Why should we train our dog?  There are several answers, and perhaps the most obvious is also the strongest argument: because you will both enjoy it! But there are a number of others that it’s worth knowing about, because training isn’t a trivial matter for dogs-it’s important for their overall well being.
Why should we train our dog?  There are several answers, and perhaps the most obvious is also the strongest argument: because you will both enjoy it!
I wrote this book to be a training aid as seen through the eyes of your best friend.  We all love our dogs and we all face the daily task of setting the hierarchy in our home.  Your dog is constantly trying to test us and prove they are the top dog.  If properly trained, your dog will understand that you are in charge and will always be the top dog.
A lot has been written about the human role as “pack leader” and the importance of never allowing your dog to dominate you.  Don’t get so obsessed with being the leader and disciplinarian that you can’t allow your dog to play.
Patricia Griecci, founder of Smiling Dog and PlayMore Publishing, knows the problem some pet guardians face.  “A large number of guardians (pet owners) have told me the same thing about asking how to include their best friend in your pack.

The book “Well Behaved Pet Guardian and Pampered Pooch Parties” are printed in the USA and available from PlayMore Publishing http://bit.ly/PetGuardian, Pampered Pooch Parties at http://bit.ly/pgriecci and Amazon.com.

Dental disease is very common in dogs and cats.
Tartar buildup is the most common problem. Tartar can lead to gingivitas and root exposure.
Periodontal disease is the most common diagnosed disease affecting 80% of pets.
Symptoms may or may not be evident but can include:
Bad Breath
Yellow brown buildup along the gum line
bleeding gums
oral pain
tooth loss
depression
Whole body effects can result when bacteria enter the blood stream from gums and teeth, leading to heart, liver or kidney problems.
Proper cleaning of the teeth is the first step. This includes Ultrasonic cleaning and scaling of the teeth and polishing.
Animals need to be anesthetized during the procedure so deep cleaning below the gum line can be completed.
Be aware that delaying proper dental care may compromise your pets health.
